- You must be 18 or over and resident in Great Britain to purchase a ticket.
- Ticket sales close at the date and time published on the raffle page. Late entries cannot be accepted.
- Winners are drawn at random using a verified random-number generator on the closing date, and results are published on this site and notified to winners by email/phone.
- Prizes must be claimed within 30 days. Unclaimed prizes may be re-drawn or used to benefit the Chapter's chosen charity at the Committee's discretion.

Events & ride-outs
- Attendance at Chapter events and ride-outs is at your own risk. You must hold a valid full UK motorcycle licence, current insurance, and breakdown cover.
- The Chapter is not responsible for any damage to your motorcycle, personal belongings, or injury sustained during an event, save where caused by the Chapter's own gross negligence.
- Ride-outs are led by a Road Captain using the "Second Man Drop-Off" system. A safety briefing is given at the start of every official ride — riders are responsible for following it.
- The Chapter reserves the right to cancel, postpone, or re-route any event due to weather, safety, or circumstances beyond our control.
